Passing of Mrs.
Mary Peck Brings
Sorrow to Many
Funeral of Well Loved Resident of
County is Held at Old Home ;
at Weeping Water. j
Mary A. Boyd was born on the
8th day of August, 1834. and depart
ed this life February 4th, 1928, at
the Masonic Home . at Plattsmouth,
Nebraska, at the age of 94 years, hav
ing passed to the life beyond with
joy and expectancy.
She was reared in New York state,
and was united in -marriage with Mr.
i Hiram Peck, April 16th, 1872. Mrs.
Peck came to Weeping Water with
her husband about 35 years ago, hav
ing previously lived in Lincoln, Ne
braska, for a short time. One son,
Harry, now in California, survives
the mother, her husband having pre
ceded her in death several years ago.
In writing this life sketch of Mrs.
Peck we are not positive of the dates
herein mentioned, but have inquired
of various friends and neighbors and
IS ( the above data is the result.
On December 16th, 1923. Mrs.
Peck consented to enter the Masonic
Infirmary at Plattsmouth, and for the
past two years and more she has re-,
ceived the very best of care and at
tention from the nurses and officials
of the home, who cared for her a
though she was. their own kindred.
The writer visited the home and call
ed on Mrs. Peck and found her the
most cheerful and contented of all
the inmates. She wished for nothing
to make her happiness complete and
her gratitude to the Masonic Breth
ren and their beautiful ministry of
love and relief could never be ex
pressed in words, but her smiles were
radiant with a language that was
fully understood and appreciated. j
Mrs. Peck was greatly loved and
esteemed by all who knew her. Some
of her friends and neighbors phoned
or came to see the writer and said in
substance, "I always felt better after
my visit with Mrs. Mary Peek." She
was the widow of a G. A. R. veteran.)
a worthy soldier of Uncle Sam. and !
as a member of the Woman's Relief !
Corps she was always active and,
contributed her mite to make others!
h 'i nnv t
Funeral services, which were beau
tiful in their simplicity, were held in
the First Methodist church on last
Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock,
under the direction of the Masonic
lodge of this city and the Woman's
Relief Corps. An inspiring sermon,
a tribute of love and esteem, was
given by Rev. George A. Morey. Sev-
eral beautiful hymns. including
"Over There" and "Abide with Me"
were sung by the church quartet,
composed ot Mrs. Henry Ruhga, Mrs.
Ethel Ratnour, Milford Hoback and
Asa Rector, accompanied at the or
gan by Mrs. Roy Haslam. E. B. Tay
lor, S. J. Marshall, J. J. Meier, Oscar
Domingo, W. W. Davis and J. C. Leh
man, members of the Masonic frater
nity, served as pall bearers. Inter
ment was made in Oakwood cemetery,
where the beloved mother, wife and
sister was laid to her last long rest
beside the grave of her husband.
The casket and flowers were very
beautiful and the beautiful stand
ards bearing the Stars and Stripej,
placed at each end of the casket were
effective in recalling the noble life
which Mrs. Peck lived. Everything
that loving hearts and human hands"
could do, was done for this dear
mother.
"It matters not which road
I take.
How dark or long it be;
I know, oh God. 'twill some
where join
The road that leads to
Thee."

J. L. Wilea felled one of the larg
est trees in the yard at his home in
this city this week, and was much
surprised to find that the tre must
have undoubtedly have attained the
great age of nearly 150 years, and
perhaps more. 135 annual rings are
discernible, but because of decay in
the heart of the tree it is impos
sible to count the exact number of
i years which this sentinel of the one
time prairie land has kept its silent
.guard. The tree is a large white .elm
f which stood in the yard near the east
j wall of the house. At one time a
Denu in tne creeK Drougni a stream
of water thru or very near the spot
where the tree stood and this is
thought to have been its protection
from fires set on the prairie by the
Indians.
Accordingly the tree must be one
of the oldest in this vicinity and pos
sibly in Nebraska, yet discovered.
Most certainly, however, it grew
here long before the advance of the
white man and civilization. Weep

jThis is an accomplishment that is j
'doubtless many years in the future j
and in the meantime the only anti-j
dote for the grade crossing peril is!
care on the part of th' driver of the'
automobile. It may not be generally:
known that a recent decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States
virtually places all responsibility on
the autoist. The language of the
court and fts logic arc impressive:
"When a man goes upon a rail
road track," says the opinion, "he
knows that !' goes to a place where
!he will be killed if a train comes up
on him before he is clear of
track. He knows that be must :
for the train, not the train stop
him. In such circumstances it seems
to us that if p. driver cannot be sure
otherwise whether a train is danger
ously near he must, stop and get out"
of his vehicle, although obviously he
will not often be required to do more
than stop and look. It seems to us
that if he relies upon not hearing the
train or any signal and takes no fur
ther precaution, he does so at his own
risk."
The soundness of the court's opin
ion is borne out by the fact that the
great majority of crossing collission ;;
between train and automobile occur
in broad daylight and at points where
the view is unobstructed, and also
that many automobiles crash into the
side of trains, conditions which ordi
nary care would prevent.
Fred" Smith and Raymond Merger,
1oc:-l Chevrolet dealers lust return-
led from Omaha where they attended
their annual Chevrolet convention
'and banquet, with 700 other dealers
of the midwest. The gathering was
lone of the series of sales meetings
! conducted by officials of the company
j on a nation-wide circuit, the primary
purpose being to conduct an cduca
itional campaign which would result
j in better cooperation between the
dealers and the factories in their
, plan to market 1, 000,000 cars in
1!2S. Mr. Klinger, general sales
manager of the Chevrolet Motor com
pany, was the toast master and in his
! principal address dwelt on certain
' features which he believed would be
important for Chevrolet in 192S.
"I am just a confident of selling
that 1.000.000 cars this year as if I
had sold them now," the Chevrolet
chiem declared.
Mr. Smith and Mr. Ilerger both are
very optimistic for they believe that
the midwest faces a prosperous year
rnd that they will sell more than
.their full quota of Chei volet cars this
year.
The meeting was the most elabor
ate and comprehensive session of its
kind ever held in the motor industry.
Speeches were illustrated in the
form of playlets depicting the proper
procedure to be followed in the suc
cessful operation of a retail auto-
the i mobile business. More than a car
ton i load -of show equipment with a spec-
forjial show crew was brought to Oma
ha to provide the setting for the
meeting. More scenery, curtains and
drops were used in the presentation
of the Chevrolet program than are
usually employed by large theatrical
productions.
Following the afternoon meeting
the 700 dealers were guests of th'
Chevrolet Motor company at an elab
orate banquet at the Fontenelle
Hotel where Mr. II. J. Klinger. Gen
eral Sales Manager of the Chevrolet
Motor company presided as host.
The day's program wa.s the ninth
of a series of forty-three similar ses
sions that are being held this win
ter spring from coast to coast.
